... size distribution d 0 ( f ) , and intrusion depth z i for a surface oil slick broken up by breaking waves and the breakup of submerged oil (submerged spill) in a turbulent ambience. Empirical relations were derived for Q , d 0 ( f ) , and z i as a function of oil type, weathering state, oil...

... The response of a nonplastic silt subjected to water waves was investigated in a laboratory wave tank facility. The deposit was created by slurrying the silt into a sediment bay, and pore-water pressure transducers were placed at various depths within the deposit to measure the dynamic response...

... simulating, to some extent, natural wave action and avoiding the atypical turbulence introduced by mechanical agitation devices. Oil adherence to solid surfaces is minimized. The apparatus is believed to be particularly suitable for studying the effectiveness and behavior of dispersants under conditions...
